Abstract
Water which is a valuable, finite, renewable and shared resource required by various sections. The best possible alternative to overcome limitations of canal distribution networks (CDN) by using pipe distribution network (PDN) system .The main aim of this research paper is to improve efficiency of water use by PDN method. As present water efficiency is 25-40 % it can be improved to 70-80 % by PDN. The main purpose of this research is concentration of use of PDN instead of CDN. As the flexible conversion of existing CDN into PDN or construct a new PDN. Hence PDN is economical and feasible than the CDN. This paper is based on the design of PDN of Lower Pedhi Irrigation Project, located at Amravati district of Maharashtra state, which is initially designed to irrigate C.C.A. of 12230 Hector by CDN and we now research for gravity PDN.
